Here is a photo that I posted earlier in this thread. I can't remember if it is wheat or kamut that is growing in the containers.
I use clear plastic shoe box size containers. I have six with many holes drilled in the bottom. The bottoms are not level so most holes are in the lowest parts of the bottom so that drainage is easier. I have one that does not have holes. They sit above a green seedling tray (middle shelf) and the clear plastic dome top of the seedling tray (bottom shelf) to catch any drainage.
I soak seeds/grain (approx. 3/4 cup) in the glass dish (with a paper towel covering) that is one the top shelf. I soak for 6 - 8 hours, generally during the day so I can "swish them around" when I think about it. In the evening, I thoroughly rinse, drain and place the seeds/grains in the one container without holes. I place a second container on top of the seeds/grain and put a cotton dish towel inside the second container (bottom shelf, far left container). I find that the weight of the container and dish towel put "pressure" on the grain and the dish towel makes it "darker" which I think helps them germinate better. YMMV. The next evening, that container is rinsed thoroughly and poured into the container with holes that was providing the pressure. They are rinsed and a damp paper towel placed on top of them (bottom shelf, middle container). The next evening, that container is rinsed thoroughly and the paper towel removed (by now they are getting roots and some greening-bottom shelf, right container). Repeat same procedure until feeding. I don't move the containers to a different spot on the shelves, I just put the "newest" container in the empty spot left by the one taken to be fed. The "wheat/kamut grass" in the containers on the middle shelf, middle and far right are longer than I normally feed. When it gets that long, I take the scissors and cut it before giving to the chickens.
I only grow fodder when there isn't anything outside for forage for my flock. I'm in far north central Illinois so inside is my only choice in winter since I don't have a heated greenhouse. We have gas forced air heat so humidity is not a problem during my "growing season".
Tips:
Don't make the seed mat too thick....one or two seeds thick is perfect.
Air circulation is key to prevent mold and rot from too much moisture.
Rinsing the seed well before soaking will help get rid of debris/dirt that could harbor mold later.
Start small, get a system/routine going and then fine tune to fit your lifestyle and flock.

My turkeys, however, eat it ALL!
